Goodevening, I’m ryo!
Thank you for coming to my Blog.
The cherry blossoms are starting to bloom in Iwate.
I think that Corona virus will be calm soon.
Then I hope that many travelers come to I wate.
There are a lot of wonderful places in Iwate.
Today,I will introduce Dragon Eye.
What is Dragon eye?
There is Dragon eye in near the top of Hachimantai between Iwate and Akita.
The view of melting snow at ‘Kagami-numa’ looks like dragon eye, so it is called ‘Dragon eye’. It’s very beautiful and mysterious.
Visitars can see it for a limiter time from last May to early June.
Dragon eye is mede by mysterious power of nature, so shape of it changes every eyear. And the water color of Kagami-numa changes depends on the wether.
It’s the precious view that never see the same view again.
